Looking For A Girl

Teddy Thompson · Bella [2011]

I've been looking for agirl who drinks and smokes

Who takes a lot of drugs and can take a joke

Where does this girl of mine hide herself away?

Whoever she is I hope she's on her way



I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me



I've been looking for a girl who is good in bed

Who knows when it's time to knock it on the head

I guess it's good lovin' that I want the most

Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast



I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me



I've been looking for a girl won't scream and shout

When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout

This kind of good lovin' is hard to find

The perfect combination of the cruel and kind



I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me



I see those couples going streaming by

Looking so easy like they don't even try

It's like a magic trick slight of hand

Sawn in half by a golden band



I've been looking for a girl easy on the eyes

But not so fuckin' stupid that I want to cry

I know God doesn't give with both his hands

So I guess I just want someone I can stand



I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl

I've been looking for a girl who knows how to love me
